Tablet won't connect Solved

Post by gbvoris »

I have an ASUS tablet, it shows when I open Files. When I try to open it I get "Could not display "mtp://[usb:001,013]/". Error: No such interface 'org.gtk.vfs.Mount' on object at path /org/gtk/vfs/mount/1
Please select another viewer and try again." And a separate "Unable to mount Transformer Prime TF201 Unable to open MTP device '[usb:001,015]'"
I can access the tablet on through Bluetooth (a bit slow).

At the moment, I can open it. It wasn't visable for several hours this morning. All that has happrned is the computer went to sleepwhile I was on the road for a few hours. I came home, hit the space bar, entered my password and it came on. I opened the browser and checked the question, after I copied the first return I pluged in the tablet and it now shows.
Any ideas?

It might help to compare some log files after connecting the tablet to see what is different between when it fails and when it works.
Wait a few minutes after connecting and enter

Code: Select all

dmesg | tail
in terminal, but

Code: Select all

cat /var/log/syslog | tail
might have more info

I don't know what those log entries mean; but I reset the tablet, to no avail.
A friend was here with a similar tablet this past weekend and he connected without problem so I tried and it worked.
Any ideas, or was it just something set wrong? I'll mark this solved and post again if it comes back.

The errors are all wifi errors, do you have usb debugging enabled on the tablet?

I belive it's off.
Why will wifi errors cause the usb to be off?
